My aunt made me a golliwog. I think he was just called Golly. He had a pair of red and white gingham pajamas and was very naughty. He always got sent out when I was teaching my dolls. nell |

Hi Dorothy, I bought my wee son one about three years ago, so they are still sold. Only difference is they're now just called Gollies. Christine |

I remember when the golliwogs were tucked into the label on the back of the jar, don't think you can get them now, they are not PC! Bev |

Does anybody know whether you can still collect Golliwogs form Robertsons Jam by saving the tokens on the back of jam jars? I remember I used to do this as a child, heaven knows where the badges are now though....................... Thanks, Jayne |
